Sleaford and North Hykeham to benefit from the Government's Families First for Children Pathfinder Programme

Families First

I am delighted that Lincolnshire is one of the first three local areas selected for the Government's Families First for Children Pathfinder programme.

This programme will lay the foundations for a reform of children’s social care, by testing new approaches for Family Help, Child Protection, statutory safeguarding partnerships and Family Networks.

It is a £45m investment to test radical reforms in a number of areas, including family help and child protection.
